Hey anyone happen to know if Ryu still has his close fierce upper (b + HP??)? I saw the move in the Capcom Cup video but it doesn’t look like it’s in the game now.
Where is that from? I’m a big fan of kaze no Kobushi and felt we got a weak version in sfiv. It’d be nice if he it ever began a super, to have energy explode from his fist like CFAS.
I was asking for this in capcom unity back in 2009
Got to play a ton of SFV Ryu at Six Flag’s yesterday, maybe 3 hours worth. If anyone has any questions about how things seem for him right now, I’d be down to answer
Yes. Bison, Ryu, and Cammy have fast recovery on their V-Trigger activation’s that they can use it to time an anti-air.
You can combo EX Shoryuken and Super after j.Strong.
N/A
Knockdowns are too short to properly set up a meaty guard break. You might be able to pull this off after his critical art since it causes a hard knockdown.
I’d place him closest to a 3rd Strike style of play. From what I’ve experienced, if you attempt to play only a zoning game with him you will lose. He really loves being inside peoples faces and not giving them room to breathe thanks to his new St. MP which gives him a sort of 3s Ken offense. He can rack up damage and stun very quickly. The way that stun works in this game, it’s really impossible to mash out of, so if your opponent is prepared they’ll get the fattest combo they can possibly get. Also, stun combos don’t seem to scale near as hard as they do in SF4 so stunning your opponent will give you a huge lead
Yes, his V-Trigger activation has really quick recovery. You can pop it and then anti air an already airborne opponent. I’ve heard other people say you can use V-Trigger activation to extend combos after cr. HP
J. MP (2 hit), J. MP (1 hit) xx Tatsu worked [possibly V-Trigger only? unsure], as did J. MP into Super
Cr. MK serves a different utility in this game compared to more recent Street Fighter games. The range on it is decent but not great. It’s best used in combos or for an effective low attack if your opponent is walking backwards or if you bait a throw tech from your opponent. However, Fireball on block seemed to be much less negative compared to SF4 so I didn’t mind using Cr. MK xx Fireball just to push my opponent out and reset the neutral every once in a while
To get Guard Break from your fireballs it seems like they have to reach either full charge or at least a certain amount of charge. If you’re trying to be sneaky and get a guard break, you’ll have to use EX bar for the faster start up otherwise they’ll see it coming from a mile away. Knockdowns in general are incredibly different from SF4. Everyone gets up incredibly quickly from almost any type of knockdown but being unable to backdash on wake up or abuse OS teching makes them useful in a very different way.
I’m not sure exactly what Denjin is, but if it’s his Super, it only breaks guard when V-Trigger is activated. Otherwise your opponent will block it regularly. It doesn’t seem like there’s much you can do with this so far but I’m sure there’s something if you’ve got your opponent cornered and forced to take it
Wow this is new info. If it does work it’s 100% v-trigger only.
I didn’t even know j.mp was special cancellable lol
This is pretty sick. His super starts so freaking fast (I remember in some cases people tried to jump out of it and got hit) that a cr.mk xx super with v trigger on sounds increadibly cheap. Does it rack up any damage or stun (ala SFIV gouken) if it’s blocked?
How’s meter building from whiffing specials (I know regular meter building is good enough to get one super per round at least)? Do any of you guys know ie how many srks you need to get a bar?
cr.Forward xx Denjin is not guaranteed since the opponent can V-Reversal on the cr.Forward (probably after super flash too) to get out of that. There’s an instance where Daigo does this to chip out Tokido and then after the super flash Tokido did V-Reversal to get out of the chip set up. I’m not sure if he was already doing V-Reversal on the cr.Forward or he was mashing it after the super flash.
Whiffing specials doesn’t build up that much meter. I know Vesper and I recorded footage on this but I can’t remember the exact number of SRKs to get a stock.
